Ingredients You’ll Need and Variations
Avocado: Use a ripe avocado that is soft enough to mash easily but not overly brown or watery. A ripe Hass avocado gives the creamiest texture.
Eggs: Large eggs work best. Boil them until the whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your preferred texture. Cool them in cold water before peeling for easier handling.
Bread: Thick slices of sourdough, whole-wheat or seeded bread work particularly well. Choose a sturdy bread that can hold the avocado and eggs without becoming soggy.
Greek yogurt: Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt. It adds creaminess and a little extra protein while making the smashed avocado lighter and more spreadable.
Red onion: Finely dice the onion so you get a little crunch and sharpness in every bite without overpowering the avocado.
Fresh chives: Fresh chives add a mild onion flavour and freshness. Chop them finely and reserve a little for sprinkling over the finished toast.
Chilli flakes: Add as much or as little as you like. The chilli flakes give the creamy avocado a gentle heat and add a little visual interest.
Salt: Avocado needs seasoning, so don’t skip the salt. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
Black pepper: Freshly ground black pepper adds a subtle peppery bite and balances the creamy avocado and eggs.
How to Make Smashed Avocado Toast with Boiled Eggs
1. Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cook the eggs until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Transfer the eggs to cold water, allow them to cool, then peel and slice.
2. Toast the Bread
Toast the bread until golden and crisp.
3. Make the Smashed Avocado
Scoop the avocado into a bowl and smash it with a fork. Add the Greek yogurt, diced red onion, chopped chives, chilli flakes, salt and black pepper.
Mix Everything
Mix until combined, keeping some texture in the avocado.
4. Assemble the Toast
Spread the smashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread. Top each slice with sliced boiled egg and finish with extra chives, chilli flakes and black pepper.
Serve immediately.

Meal Prep and Storage Tips
Boil the eggs ahead: Boiled eggs can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making this breakfast much quicker to assemble on busy mornings.
Prep the toppings: Dice the red onion and chop the chives ahead of time. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Prepare the avocado fresh: For the best colour and texture, smash the avocado just before serving. If you need to prepare it ahead, cover it tightly with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface and refrigerate.
Keep the toast separate: Don’t assemble the toast until you’re ready to eat. Storing the avocado mixture on the bread will make the toast soft.
Pack for breakfast: Store the boiled eggs, avocado mixture and toppings separately, then toast the bread fresh and assemble just before eating.
Best enjoyed fresh: Once assembled, avocado toast is best eaten immediately while the bread is crisp and the toppings are fresh.
